Spence walks around 176? wtfffff

[Joe Beamish]

Can't wait for this fight. Spence is a bad dude whatever he weighs. Brook is going to get whipped.

[Robbie Barrett]

Ricky Hatton used to cut more weight than Spence

No he didn't Hatton used to weigh around 152 on fight night. Losing weight for the fight and cutting weight for the weigh-in to put it back on aren't the same.

30lbs above, 176 is probably outside of training camp, between fights. that sounds accurate for a big welterweight who has a large frame but doesnt balloon up getting fat.


Figure 10 pounds or so of actual weight to cut during fight camp and then you have a 20 pound water cut for the fight, which is in line with what the largest fighters do.

This. I mean spence here has probably 10 pounds of fat to lose during or before fight camp.

Hatton may have cut less water weight but he had waaaay more fat to cut and a way harder time making weight than spence for sure.

Did he? was that twitter account his real one? do you know? Because I found another twitter account with more followers etc.

Anyway, I doubt because Chino weighed 156.5 against Lopez as a 147er, and used to weigh 149 on his fights at 140.

Anything can happen but I doubt a bit on that.

Pretty sure they stepped on the showtime scales.

Like Spence said.. there shouldn't be any excuses about making weight from brook

[VatoMulatto]

As long as they make the weight, that's the only thing that matters. They are both big welterweights so no weight excuses after the fight.

[Cheek busting]

Heard someone say that he(Spence) said this at the press conference?

that is a lot of weight to cut wow

Not really.

By the time he's done with training camp, he's probably just cutting the usual 11-13 pounds of water weight during the lsat week before weigh-in. They have a method where they drain their glycogen supplies too.

If you do it right, that's not a lot of weight to cut, because most of that is prolly just excess fat lost during a hard training camp with a strict diet.

What's so surprising? Jr walks around well over 200. Cantnelo walks around well over 190. Paquita la de barrio aka fat azz Fernando Vargas walked around at over 200 lbs so again what's the big deal?
